MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 23, 2025--

Aeva ® (Nasdaq: AEVA), a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems, today announced that Sotereon.AI (formerly The Indoor Lab) has begun deploying Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology at Tampa International Airport (TPA) as part of a transformative initiative to optimize airport operations, enhance public safety and security, and improve the passenger travel experience across the airport environment.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250723763340/en/

The deployment is part of Sotereon.AI’s broader mission to bring advanced spatial intelligence with its Overwatch analytics software platform to major U.S. airports and transit hubs using LiDAR technology. With Aeva’s high-performance FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) 4D LiDAR sensors, TPA is now able to capture rich real-time data and long-range perception across a variety of critical use cases—enabling a proactive, data-driven approach to operations and security.

“By combining Aeva’s world-class 4D LiDAR-on-chip technology with our leading spatial intelligence platform, we’re delivering insights to infrastructure operators that weren’t possible before,” said Patrick Blattner, CEO and Co-Founder of Sotereon.AI. “Whether it’s securing our airports, optimizing vehicle and passenger traffic flow, or tracking tarmac operations, we now have a more comprehensive live operational view that allows airport stakeholders to make faster, smarter decisions.”

Key possible use cases for Aeva’s 4D LiDAR at Tampa International Airport include:

“Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to the physical world—and Tampa International Airport is another leading example of what’s possible with our flexible technology platform,” said James Byun, Managing Director of Business Development at Aeva. “Together with Sotereon.AI, we’re showing how real-time 4D spatial data can power safer, more efficient, and more intelligent airport environments.”

This deployment at TPA marks a milestone in Aeva’s growth in infrastructure and transportation markets, building on previous deployments with Sotereon.AI at some of the nation’s largest and most heavily trafficked airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport’s New Terminal One. These deployments demonstrate how Aeva’s unique 4D LiDAR can deliver meaningful operational value across a growing number of applications.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Australian Open's first formal opening ceremony became the Roger Federer show on the eve of the season-opening major.

There was Crowded House, the band, playing a set of four hits. There was a full house — a capacity crowd in the 15,000-seat stadium.

Rod Laver, the great Australian player of Grand Slam fame, was in the house. The 87-year-old Aussie was sitting courtside in Rod Laver Arena, the center court at Melbourne Park named in his honor.

Federer, the six-time Australian Open winner and 20-time Grand Slam champion, partnered past champions Andre Agassi and then Ash Barty in an exhibition doubles match against Pat Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt as the main feature of the program.

It went to script, with Federer winning the first point despite framing a forehand and then emphatically finishing off the victory with a leaping overhead winner.

Novak Djokovic, who has won 10 Australian titles among his record 24 major championships, was there to watch.

The Australian Open main draw singles competitions start Sunday. Djokovic plays his opening match on Monday.

Australian Open organizers turned the 2026 edition into a three-week festival of tennis, with 217,999 fans attending across six days to watch exhibitions, qualifying and the 1 Point Slam before the main draw started.

Federer was back in Australia for the first time since 2021, making the trip now because he retired from competitive tennis before he could do a farewell season tour.

“It really truly means so much to me when people like Rocket (Laver) show up,” Federer said. “It’s super important to be grateful” to earlier generations of stars.
